HE Philippine National Police (PNP) on Wednesday refuted a Britainbased watchdog’s claims alleging that the Philippines is the most dangerous place for land and environmental activists.

PH, world’s deadliest place for environmental defenders
THE Philippines has recorded the highest number of killings of any country in 2018 with at least 30 defenders murdered, according to international environmental watchdog Global Witness. In its annual report en-
titled “Enemies of the state?” which was released in July this year, the Global Witness named the Philippines as “the world’s deadliest country for defenders.” On October 20, 2018, the UK-based group said
gunmen shot dead nine sugarcane farmers and burned down their tents on the Philippine island of Negros. “The victims, who included three women and two teenagers, were
THE Malacañang on Tuesday expressed concern over a Britain-based watchdog’s report which showed that the Philippines is the most dangerous place for land and environmental activists. In its report, Global Witness saw 30 murders of people who defended their
homes, lands and natural resources from exploitation in the Philippines in 2018. “The government will always be concerned with respect to any violence inflicted against the citizens of this country, whether done by outside forces or by those inside this country,” Panelo
said in a Palace briefing. Panelo, however, acknowledged how killings took place due to conflicts among claimants of particular lands. “Well, that happens. If there are conflicts among claimants of a particular

PNP chief Gen. Oscar Albayalde said the PNP takes strong exception to the labeling done by Global
Witness of the country as a deadly nation for land rights. He said land disputes have always been a perennial source of conflict among people, and this has been among several motives behind some homicides investigated by the PNP. “Let me assure that every incident of violence stemming from whatever motive is promptly investigated by the police with utmost priority,” Albayalde said in a statement sent to reporters. “The reality is that the activities of the local communist movement in the countryside is also a factor
in this armed conflict over land rights, and many tribal leaders, community officials and government security forces have died protecting land rights against insurgents who want to place these communities under their control,” he stressed. In its report, Global Witness said 164 land and environmental activists were killed in the country in 2018. This number, it said, includes the nine sugarcane farmers who were gunned down in Sagay City, Negros Occidental in October last year. philippine news agency

Overweight, obesity increasing across all ages - NNC 10 CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, July 26 – National Nutrition Council (NNC) region 10 coordinator Gladys Mae S. Fernandez during Talakayan sa PIA said we need to push for actions and advocacies to address problem on increasing of overweight nationwide. The theme, “Kumain nang wasto at maging aktibo… push natin ‘to!” aims to address the findings of national nutrition survey by Department of Science and Technology - Food and Nutrition Research Institute (DOST-FNRI) that prevalence of overweight and obesity across all ages in the country is increasing. Based on National Nutrition Council (NNC) local survey through Operation Timbang of 0-71 months old children conducted by Barangay Nutrition Scholars in the region, from 2017
to 2018, underweight decreased from 4.3% to 4% and stunting 8.9% to 8.2% meanwhile overweight increased from 1.9% to 2% and wasting increased 2.6% to 2.9%. Among the five provinces in Northern Mindanao, Misamis Oriental has the highest prevalence of overweight and obesity followed by Misamis Occidental. For underweight, Lanao del Norte is top including prevalence of wasting. According to Shiella Rose C. Balbanida, Nutrition Dietitian of Department of Education (DepEd) region 10, last year, 11% of the total population or 118,000 pupils who were wasted and severely wasted from kinder to grade 6 were beneficiaries of their school based feeding program.

Thoughts on the Transfer of School Heads By DAISY MAE M. VILLASIS, Ph.D, HT-I, Betahon ES
School heads come and go. But the legacies on the schools they left behind last through the memories of the school children, teachers and the school’s stakeholders. We can say that their legacies cannot be adjudged as bad or good but their school management imprint can only be viewed judiciously as to whether they have meaningfully led and provided the school with the significant services of quality education or they just merely comply with whatever standard school reports (monitoring and informational) needed to be submitted to the division office. Have they effectively and efficiently directed the school or just went through the motions of regular departmental compliance? The attitudes of school heads regarding the change of school varies. It may be dependent on the type of mindset they are operating on. Some school heads can be thoroughly attached to the school station they are asked to be relinquishing ( similar to experiencing separation anxiety ) so much that after 8 to 10 years, they may find hard to accept the eventual change of station in the next barangay or municipality. The newly unfolded reality can be intensely daunting to ponder about. Some school heads can be completely game to the change of school that they will leap at the opportunity at a heartbeat. While these two
types of attitudes are polar extremes, the in-between would be the school head attitude that would regard such change of station as a normal life occurrence, something that they have to deal with, fulfill dutifully and moved on gracefully from. Whether we want to view the station transfer as professionally or personally detrimental or beneficial, this change is inevitable. Just like anything in this world, nothing lasts forever. As anything or everything goes through change. School heads need not lose sleep over this ordeal or cry their heart out needlessly. For sure they can weather a lot of tough situations like they did a thousand times before. School leaders come and go. But schools remain the same (or do they?). The legacy of a school administrator will leave an impact on the school community, positive or not, memorable or mundane. There is something of his or her leadership style and her personal contribution that will stay in the school community: school children, parents and stakeholders. For the people they connected with to learn from and to be inspired of. This is a fact of life. School heads advance in their career so they get assigned to a number of schools in their entire work life. This is part of growth. This is all part of the professional growth of school heads.

The future of BPO industry in PH
MORE than three years ago, Patrick Ocampo, 49, decided to join the business process outsourcing (BPO) industry with the goal of securing a better source of income for his family. “I came from the academe. I was a college professor for 24 years but because of the K to 12 implementation, my financial situation became unstable, so, I took a chance on BPO,” Ocampo told the Philippine News Agency (PNA).

Surprise whip
BECAUSE of the reported misdeeds, the purging of the corrupt at the Philippine Charity Sweeptakes Office is without let up. The closure order of the President, done in the dead of the night, was directed to all PCSO employees and operators to immediately stop the lottery operations nationwide. Malacanang considers the corrupt people at the PCSO as square pegs in round holes, and because of their grave misconduct, these government workers were classified as misfits (read: corrupt) in the bureaucracy. President Duterte’s continuing call to rid the government with scalawags and the corrupt is aimed at dissecting the social and economic malfunction called
corruption in almost, if not all, instrumentalities in the public service. The feisty President has a direct and harsh definition of corruption: it is a social evil with immediate economic effect with longterm damage on the moral fabric of the nation. Having said that, the Crusade for Clean Government, a volunteer anti-corruption watchdog supports the presidential directive in the campaign against the vultures of government funds, this time at the PCSO. President Duterte sees corruption in government as pandemic and needs surgical operation with a sense of urgency. In this case, the PCSO takes the presidential whip, sending everyone in the lottery business in panic mode.
For the 74 year-old President, the task of cleaning up the bureaucracy is definitely not a walk in the park. More so of dusting off the country’s vicious social evils: drug lords, criminals roaming in the streets, and rapists lurking for victims. Duterte’s daring and most often punchy statements against criminality and corruption are sweet nothings to the many, but bitter to the few who glorify evil and money more than anything. Under the Duterte administration, fighting corrupt practices maybe a tall order, but it is a fight being challenged to the fore -- a make or break kind of corrupt-busting war against the misfits in government. Academics have said time and again: the reason
Ruffy Magbanua
our nation struggles from the rotten governance is simply because of the lack of patriotism of people in government. And there is no denying the fact that as a people, we tend to be selfcentered citizens -- concerned only for ourselves and our families, earnings and businesses. Moral accountability to the life of the people and the nation has been sidelined, in favor of the greed of the few, to the frustration of the many. (email: ruffy44_ph2000@ yahoo.com)

Think A Minute
The ugly, undisputed queen THINK a minute. When she was born in 1874 in the European nation of Hungary, Kincsem did not look at all like a champion racehorse. In fact, she so lacked the strong features of a winner that her owner immediately sold her. Kincsem became the new owner’s least valuable horse, so he put her in the smallest, darkest stall at the end of the stable. A few nights later a small gang of gypsies stole Kincsem. The thieves were caught and the horse returned to her owner. He asked the gypsy leader why of all his 59 beautiful horses, the gypies had chosen to steal Kincsem? The gypsy chief answered: “Horses, like people, do not have to be beautiful to be great.” Interestingly Kinc-
sem’s name means My Fortune. Yet her size and features were not right for a race horse, especially her skinny hind legs. But in June of 1876, as a twoyear-old she ran her first race...and won. No one was more surprised than her owner. Two weeks later she raced and won again! Strangely, Kincsem st ar te d e ver y race in last place. In those days they did not have starting gates, and she always stood lazily behind the starting line and did not begin running until after the other horses were already racing down the track. Then she would shoot from the starting line, kick in to high gear, and pass them all to win! Eventually Kincsem was entered to run against
the winner of the German Derby, Europe’s biggest horse race. Ten thousand people watched in wonder as this ugly, skinny mare beat bigger, stronger stallions. There had never been a champion like this before...nor since. Incredibly, Kincsem won every race she ran as a two-year-old, and also as a three-year-old! In fact, to our knowledge no race horse in history has ever equaled Kincsem’s lifetime record. In 54 major races, she won every single race! This unwanted, skinny mare became the Queen of the Sport of Kings. One of the ugliest horses ever born became the greatest horse that ever lived. Maybe you have felt rejected or disrespected and looked down on. But the One Who created you
Jhan Tiafau Hurst
values you as His unique masterpiece who is as important as any other person in the world. Others may see your apparent weaknesses but He sees your special strengths. He loves you the way He made you, and He does not want you to look like or be like anyone else. He designed you with your own special personality, abilities and appearance. If you ask Him to take full charge of your heart, Jesus will help you fully become the one-of-a-kind man or woman He made you to be. Just think a minute.

Reaching the Unreachable, Whenever, Wherever: The Open High School Journey in Cagayan de Oro By ROMEO B. ACLO
Who would like to work on a Saturday or Sunday without salary? That’s a big question asked by a friend when the Open High School Program was about to be started at the old site at East Gusa National High School, (now transferred to a new location provided by the city government) during its infancy in Cagayan de Oro. Then I quipped and asked a question what would happen to those who are not in school, if there are no alternative delivery for them? I was referring to the working students, the household helpers, those who have family problems, those who can’t cope with the regular classes, the persons with physical disabilities, even those who cant afford the daily expenses from Monday to Friday. These are the realities on the ground and the drop-out incidence then is very high for secondary schools in Cagayan de Oro, and the problem still persists until now. The Alternative Delivery Mode- Open High School Program is a program of the Department of Education to reduce drop-outs and provide access to basic education to
the marginalized. However, it is operating without a budget specific for the program, it is attached to the regular MOOE with the enormous problem as well in coping with the budget of the regular class. Teachers can be provided only with service credits as incentive if they are working beyond the number of regular loads of six hours actual teaching daily and after working Mondays to Friday, 5 days in the regular delivery. There is no service credits for principal or supervisors. No school dared to do it before 2011 as it was started as early as1996 as ADM , in sy 2011-2012 East Gusa National High School started it, and followed by Balubal National High School, then headed by Lerio del Puerto and Camaman-an National High School headed
by Apolinario Cagata now working in the USA. It was later followed by Macabalan National High School then headed by Bernadito Capagngan, offering a Sunday class for OHSP as it was the demand of the community being in the port area. Now, there are 20 OHSP Implementing schools in the city, with more than two thousand learners. After the devastation of Typhoon Sendong in December 2011, all the more that the relevance of the Alternative Delivery was seen as a necessity. The implementation of OHSP in 2011-2012 was initially thought as a way to decongest the number of learners in a very small area with the usual lack of classrooms and other usual issues and challenges, more importantly the incidence of drop-outs and

Their credentials in the OHSP were credited in Canada where they migrated and were able to complete their education in that country.

Role of modern technology as effective tool in education By ROSEMARIE JANEO-TAMSI Teacher II West City Central School Ilaya, Carmen, Cagayan de Oro City
THERE are countless reasons why technology is a key aspect of learning in schools. Whether we like it or not, technology is everywhere and in order for our students to survive in post-secondary education and the business world, they must know technology. Students demand it. Students are engaging with technology constantly outside of the classroom. Kids like to be interactive and learning through technology has now become a part of their lifestyle. New teachers are demanding it. The technology movement has been implemented in post-
secondary education as well as other professional jobs. For new teachers, technology is considered a necessity for the learning environment. Kids are the digital native. Kids know technology better than most adults. It has become the easiest way they learn because it is such an integral part of their life. Engaging with technology in the classroom has not only helped them learn better but they also acquire multi-tasking skills. At this day and age, they hardly know how to learn without it. This knowledge is important because they will be way behind in the real world without it.

Landbank to increase agri loans to M’danao By JOANN VILLANUEVA
SB Corp strengthens partnership with Rural Bankers Association of the Philippines for P3 program The Small Business Corporation (SB Corp) on Monday met with officers of the Rural Bankers Association of the Philippines (RBAP) to strengthen its partnership for the Pondo sa Pagbabago at Pag-asenso (P3) micro loan program. The partnership with RBAP will help SB Corp’s Credit Delivery Partners (CDPs) make the delivery of the P3 program faster to micro entrepreneurs in rural areas. Among the rural banks introduced to help in delivering the P3 program are: FICO Bank from Cauayan City, Isabela; GM Bank of Luzon from Cabanatuan City, Isabela; The New Rural Bank of San Leonardo from San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija; Bank of Florida from San Fernando, Pampanga; MVSM Rural Bank from Marikina City; Silangan Multi-purpose Cooperative from Davao City; and Cantilan Bank from Surigao del Sur. Under the P3 Program, a micro enterprise can borrow between P5,000 up to P200,000 depending on its business need and repayment capacity with no collateral requirement. Interest rate and service fees, all in, do not exceed 2.5% monthly. The P3 Program serves as an alternative to the P30 billion “5-6” money lending industry that charges 20% nominal interest rate to MSMEs. In photo are SB Corp.

MANILA – Top management of Land Bank of the Philippines (Landbank) said that Mindanao, being the country’s food basket, will definitely receive greater focus in the bank’s bid to increase lending to the agriculture sector. Landbank President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Cecilia Borromeo said loans to the sector is the highest among domestic banks and their borrowers are all over the country. “But since Mindanao is the biggest agricultural area, then Mindanao will continue to get a very large chunk of our loans to the agri,” she said. Borromeo explained that banks are not allowed to allocate more than 20 percent of their total loan portfolio to a single industry but noted that since “total loan portfolio is also getting bigger, the 20 percent of something bigger will be bigger”.

President Rodrigo R. Duterte, in his State of the Nation Address (SONA) last week, directed Landbank officials to submit to him by the end of this month an action plan that details how the bank will increase lending to the agriculture sector. Landbank data show that in the first half of 2019, loans that the state-owned financial institution extended to the priority sector accounted for 93.1 percent of total loans amounting to PHP744.5 billion, which in turn is higher than year-ago’s PHP655 billion. Specifically, total loans to the mandated sector reached PHP42.31 billion, the bulk of which are extended to small farmers including agrarian reform beneficiaries amounting to PHP42.17 billion, while PHP14 billion was extended to small fishers and their associations. Loans that support the agriculture and fisheries sector amounted to PHP177.32 billion while loans that support the national government’s priority programs, including infrastructure projects, reached PHP524.86 billion. Borromeo said they continue to encourage farmers to organize themselves into cooperatives or associations since economies of scale does not favor lending to individual farmers. “The successes that we have seen is through the cooperatives but we still lend to individuals but in a very supervised manner See LOANS, page 11 NOTICE OF EXTRAJUDICIAL PARTITION The heirs of FELICISIMO CADILI, who died intestate, have executed an EXTRAJUDICIAL PARTITION of his estate which consist of an agricultural land, identified as Lot No. 92, located in Babasalon, Magsaysay, Lanao del Norte, adjudicating unto them said property, covered by ORIGINAL CERTIFICATE OF TITLE NO.

Durian Festival slated in August By DIGNA BANZON PNA
Increase IP participation in Kadayawan
DAVAO CITY--The Davao Durian Industry Council (DDIC) will spearhead a month-long festival dedicated to the “king of fruits” next month, DDIC president Candelario Miculob said Tuesday. Miculob said the festival will open on August 1 and is expected to be extended up to September to give farmers more time to sell their produce. He said the fruits flooding the market this time come from the lowlands while those that will be coming in August and September are from highland areas. “The fruits are mostly coming from Davao City covering about 3,000 hectares,” Miculob said. He added that an additional 500 hectares are DURIAN FESTIVAL. The king of fruits will be showcased during a month-long celebration of the 34th Kadayawan
DAVAO CITY -- The Kadayawan Festival this year is featuring more traditions and cultural practices of Davao’s Indigenous Peoples (IPs) with the increasing participation of the 11 tribes. City Tourism Officer Generose Tecson said the participation of the tribes will also make the “Subang Sinugdanan ug Pag-abli sa Kadayawan,” on August 2 more authentic. The Subang Sinugdanan opens at 3 p.m at Magsaysay Park. The Kadayawan is an annual festival of the city’s indigenous communities and is dedicated to the bountiful harvest. It is during August that the city sees an abundance of fruits -- durian, mangosteen, lanzones, and rambutan. It also became recognition of the city’s 11 tribes and reaffirming Dabawenyos unity towards common development and progress. The opening of the 34th Kadayawan sa Dabaw will also feature the traditional dances of the city’s indigenous communities. “We’d like to invite everybody to watch our Subang Sinugdanan and Pag-abli sa Kadayawan. This is different compared to the previous Kadayawan opening because our 11 tribes worked very closely with our office (for this year) so that the performances will be according to their traditions,” Tecson said. She said members of the 11 tribes will be the ones performing the dances. (PIA 11/Editha T. Isidro)
DAVAO CITY--Davao del Norte Governor Edwin Jubahib reassured the public that he is not protecting dubious investment companies proliferating in the province that promised high rates of return. In a statement released by the Provincial Information Office Tuesday, Jubahib rejected claims that he and 1st District Rep. Pantaleon Alvarez, his political mentor, are shielding some personalities involved in high-yielding but illegal investment schemes. “That is not true. Congressman Alvarez and I do not protect operators of investment schemes,” the governor said.
More than 50 investment companies sprouted in the province particularly in Tagum City, almost all of whom have been closed following President Rodrigo Duterte’s crackdown on dubious investment schemes. Jubahib said the interest of the victims remains the
provincial government’s priority as of now. “We will do our best to help the victims recover their investments”. As part of the measure, the governor said he will call for a multi-agency meeting to discuss the immediate prosecution of personalities
DAVAO CITY--On July 27, 2019 marks the 5th birthday celebration of the 100 millionth symbolic Filipino babies. In Davao Region, five of them include Glaiza T. Torcino of Barangay Lucod, Baganga, Davao Oriental; Jhon Kenneth O. Lamintao of Barangay New Sibonga, Nabunturan, Compostela
Valley; Catherine Jane M. Fuentes of Purok 2, Barangay Urban Salvacion, Panabo City, Davao del Norte; Natsumi Kyle S. Magnifico of Purok 13, Barangay San Vicente, Panabo City, Davao del Norte; and Harrisson Ford C. Butulan of Barangay 76-A Bucana, Davao City. This year’s theme, “Sa Ikalimang taon ni baby,
Pagtutulungan tungo sa Maunlad at Malusog na Kinabukasan” stresses the bigger challenge of ensuring a better future for the symbolic children as she/he will have to compete with the rest of the increasing population in securing basic goods and services. As the symbolic children turn 5, a successful
convergence of efforts by the respective Local Government Units (LGUs) and stakeholders from the National Government Agencies in providing the immediate and sustainable basic services to the children especially on health, nutrition and education was noted. The children are

Road Safety Forum held in DavNor, safer roads pushed DAVAO DEL NORTE--The 1st Davao Region Road Safety Forum was held in Davao del Norte in response to calls of advocates for much safer Philippine roads, having known the fact that incidents of road crash are among the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. It was organized by the Department of Health Center for Health Development Davao Region, the Provincial Health Office of Davao del Norte, the Department of Education Davao del Norte Schools Division in collaboration with the World Heath Organization (WHO). DOH Regional Director, Dr. Annabelle P. Yumang revealed in her letter of invitation that 78.61 percent of road traffic deaths in the Philippines “are among the economically-productive age groups” with age range of 15 to 64. She further said that more than 500 Filipino children “die each year because of road crashes”, indicating a parallel worldwide figure on road crashes. WHO had monitored that 1.25 million people die in road crashes every year which it viewed as “an alarming figure for what experts say is a preventable
global health issue.” Dr. Yumang commended the Davao del Norte for having strengthened its alliance Violence and Injury Prevention. “They were able to organize their alliance and they also initiated to have this forum,” she said in an interview during the conduct of 1st Davao Region Road Safety Forum conducted at the RDR Gym at the Davao del Norte Sports and Tourism Complex mid this month. Dr. Yumang confirmed that indeed road crashes were among “the leading cause of deaths.” “As you can see daghan kaayong cases and injuries and crash accidents sa atong mga kalsada. This is a venue for us nga makatabang ang other stakeholders,” she said referring to the conduct of the forum during which other major stakeholders were principally involved such as the Department of Education, the Department of Public Works and Highways, the Land Transportation Office, the Land Transportation, Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) and model local government units of safe road standards like Davao City. During the same forum, WHO consultant on Noncommunicable Disease Ryan Chel Quismundo raised the alarm over a number of children and young adults having lost their lives due to road crashes citing such incidents as “the number one leading cause of death among children and Filipinos of ages five to 29 years old.” “The core essence of this forum is how we can make our schools safer for our children because we know that children are very See FORUM, page 9

Health ensures a hassle free hospital services. LGUs continue to provide sacks of rice for the family and Vitamin supplements for the symbolic babies. Baganga Mayor Arturo Monday pledged for the LGU to shoulder the monthly school fees and other educational needs of Glaiza and to provide livelihood assistance to the Torcino Family. Mayor Monday also tasked his Child Development Officer to help facilitate any additional needs of the family. The arrival of the symbolic babies to their families has prompted the parents to practice family planning and mothers are currently using pills as a choice of modern family planning method. This demographic event highlighted the importance of maternal and neonatal health, as well as, the promotion of Responsible Parenthood and Family Planning. The 2017 National Demographic Survey (NDHS) conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) indicates that women in the poorest households have more than twice as many children as women in the wealthiest households. Data also shows that fertility increases as household wealth decreases. On July 27, 2014 at 12:06 A.M. the Philippines turned 100 million in population. It was then that Davao Region

currently being developed to raise the total production area for durian to 3,500 hectares in 2024, with an estimated 546,000 fruitbearing trees. Miculob underscored the need to increase production areas because of the increasing demand, both in the domestic and foreign markets, especially in China, Korea, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Meanwhile, Miculob said the Durian Festival will be held in SM Lanang and will feature different varieties of durian such as Puyat, Arancillo, D101, D24, Red Prawn, and Cove. The estimated price range from PHP60 to PHP70 per kilo, comparably lower than the produce that comes out in the June-July period. The festival, he said, is part of DDIC’s marketing strategy to promote durian and help farmers sell their produce. Other locally-grown fruits such as mangosteen, lanzones, rambutan, and pomelo will be featured during the festival as well, Miculob said. (PNA)

vulnerable to road crashes,” he said. Quismundo also highlighted the accomplishment of DepEd Davao del Norte which was the first to come up with IEC materials on road safety. “This aims to not only raise awareness but as well as for those (IEC) materials that were developed in Davao del Norte will be integrated into the education curriculum of DepEd under MAPEH because this will somehow sustain the initiative,” he said referring to the initiative of Davao del Norte Violence and Injury Prevention Alliance. DepEd Davao del School Division launched during the forum its produced booklets on road safety advocacy. “What we wanted is to lower the mortality and morbidity of road crashes and knowing that children are vulnerable to this type of happening, we have to protect them and save them and protect them and bring them back to where roads are owned by our children and our roads are safe for them,” he said referring to the network of alliances in Davao Region and nationwide.

By RUPESA P. LLEGUNAS Teacher-III Quezon National High School IRONMAN 70.3 DAVAO FINISHER
It always amazes me how many teachers are into this sport. As the name suggests, it combines three discipline Swimming, Cycling and Running. I am always so surprised with the amount of teachers that I run into in the triathlon community. I don’t know if it is my desire to stay as young as my students are or because I like the confidence that Tri-training gives me as I stand in front of my 60 judgmental 13 year-old students all day long. I know that often I face the dilemma of putting together a training plan for the school year that fits into my busy days, I thought I would share some ideas on scheduling my training. I am a high school teacher at Quezon National High School teaching MAPEH for twelve years and I have gone through an entire school year (last year) as a “Triathlete in Training and Competing”, I can provide some insight. Keep in mind that I am an athlete (swimmer) since Elementary up to College, so I don’t have to do a great deal of planning and time management. But, I always impart the fourth principle of an Ironman, THE TIME MANAGEMENT. My School days starts at 7:15 a.m. but I leave from the house at 6:00 a.m. because of my “bolante”. I am usually one of the first teacher in the campus as I show up at around 6:20 a.m. I have a 15 year-old daughter who’s also a Triathlete. I also have a 9 year-old son, a swimmer, and a soon-to-be Triathlete. My husband is also an avid exerciser, basketball player, swimmer and a runner which helps because he understands my addiction......I mean my dedication and deter-

mination to my passion. I try to set up my training as particularly as possible. I follow a few rules: 1. All days off during the weekend. >It makes no sense to take off on the only two days out of the seven that you do not have to spend seven plus hours at work. >If you want to work out five days a week, you only have to train on three school days. 2. I do all of my long trainings on the weekend. >I use the weekdays mostly for maintenance, and the weekend for break through or milestones workout. >Swim 5km, Bike 100km, Run 21km 3. I wake up at 4:00 a.m. >I know it can be difficult to
get up this early. But, believe me, you will get used to it eventually. >I always say do only running workouts this early, because it is safer than biking in the dark. 4. Do your long weekend workouts early. >I get up early to do my long swim, bike and run with my daughter. This helps me have enough time for my family that I strive to be everyday and to do my household chores. 5. Use your off periods wisely. >Use this time to do all of the paperworks that will get in the way of training. So, a week of training may look something like the following (individual times will vary depending on your level). Keep in mind that I am not a Tri-Coach or an expert. I am Ma’am Vi, 39 years old an IRONMAN FINISHER! It’s not too late to become a Triathlete. Proud Teacher. Proud Triathlete

Salary increase to boost teacher’s performance By ROSEMARIE JANEO-TAMSI Teacher II West City Central School Ilaya, Carmen, Cagayan de Oro City
WHAT will a raise in teacher salaries accomplish? People may think that raising teachers’ salaries will result in better learning for children. One reason is that higher teacher salaries may increase teachers’ effort. When teacher salaries are low, teachers may get a second job, reducing their energy and effort at teaching. Higher teacher salaries may also increase learning if they draw more of the best and brightest college students into teaching. Research evidence from more than 30 countries shows a clear link between teachers with higher cognitive skills and subsequent
student performance. And which countries have teachers with higher cognitive skills? Countries with higher teacher salaries. Setting higher standards to enter the teaching profession is a way to both pay teachers what they’re worth while making sure the very best candidates are teaching. Low teacher salaries – together with inadequate support for teachers and little selectivity in teacher preparation – can keep public schools far below their potential. But increased pay is not enough. As experiences from around the world show, higher pay must be accompanies by an array of other reforms.

occupying a plot of land at the centre of a longstanding regional land dispute. Theirs is not an isolated case. The Philippines has consistently ranked as one of the deadliest countries in the world for people protecting their land or the environment,” the group said in their report. In 2018, it said the Philippines was the worstaffected country in sheer numbers, with 30 deaths, including the massacre on Negros. “While this crisis is serious, it is not new. Vast natural resources and fertile soils have long attracted foreign investment to the Philippines, yet widespread corruption and a culture of impunity for unscrupulous companies has seen the profits disappear into the pockets of a tiny elite.” In 2017, the group said the Philippines was second to Brazil (now ranked fourth) for the most number of deaths. In the same report, the group listed Columbia and India with 24 and 23 numbers of killings, respectively. Brazil had 20, Guatemala, 16; Mexico, 14; DRC, 8; Iran, 6; Honduras, 4; Ukraine, 3; Venezuela, 3; Cambodia, 3; Kenya, 2; Gambia, 2; Chile, 2; and one each for Pakistan, Senegal, South Africa, and Indonesia. Part of the Global Witness findings include: * Julián Carrillo knew he was in danger long before his body was found riddled with bullets in October 2018. He was the sixth member of his family to die in two years after opposing mining on their community’s land in Mexico. * Days earlier, gunmen had massacred nine men, women and children over a long-running land dispute on the island of Negros, in central Philippines. * And in Iran, renowned academic Kavous SeyedEmami died in prison in suspicious circumstances, one of nine environmentalists jailed over accusations that they were using their work protecting cheetahs as a cover for spying. * Because many other deaths go unrecorded, the figures in this report are almost certainly a sizeable underestimate. Nonetheless, the stories it tells show how a growing demand for land to meet consumer demand is driving deadly violence around the world. * In 2018 Guatemala recorded the sharpest rise in murders, which jumped more than fivefold to make it the deadliest country per capita. * The Philippines had the highest number of killings of any country this year, with at least 30 defenders murdered. * Mining was the worst sector, causing 43 deaths, though deaths related to conflicts over water sources also surged. Attacks driven by agribusiness, logging and
hydropower continued too. * Private security groups, state forces and contract killers – sometimes working together – are all suspected of carrying out killings. On one hand, Lea Guerrero, country director of Greenpeace Southeast Asia – Philippines, said: “It is horrifying that those who peacefully defend land and the environment are the ones who are being killed and persecuted so that environmental exploitation can continue for the profit of a few. “The most disadvantaged Filipinos are already at the forefront of impacts from the climate emergency; protecting nature and the environment is vital for our survival. “Greenpeace is extremely alarmed that instead of protecting these brave Filipinos and communities, the attacks on them persist. “The government must not allow the corruption at the root of these killings to continue. Greenpeace is calling on the Philippine government to protect and support our environmental defenders, and to ensure that justice is served.”

land, killings occur because of the viciousness of the rivalry between the claimants,” Panelo said. The second most dangerous country for land activists is Colombia with 24 deaths followed by India with 23 deaths in 2018. The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) earlier expressed concern over the environmental human rights defenders around the world. The 47-member body approved a resolution calling for the protection of environmental human rights defenders during its 40th session in Geneva, Switzerland on March this year. Under the resolution, the human rights body stressed the need to develop protection mechanisms for environmental human rights defenders. (PNA)

full-time educators nine units of teaching load per semester to accommodate senior high school teachers. “Honestly, at first it was a financial reason for me, but now that I’m in the industry, I see my work a lot easier compared to what I used to do as college professor. This is really routine, taking calls, and talking to clients is just like talking to students,” he said. Citing some horror stories from other call center agents, Ocampo said such unpleasant experiences might have been caused by mismanagement. “Work here isn’t toxic. I think it depends on your co-workers, on the management, comparing it to a lot of other BPO’s management, we’re pretty lucky,” he added. PH remains world’s BPO
Thursday, August 1, 2019 industry capital According to the 2017 A.T. Kearney Global Services Location Index, a study that analyzes and tracks the contours of the offshoring landscape, the Philippines ranks seventh in the top outsourcing destinations category. The ranking of the countries were based on different factors like financial attractiveness, people skills and availability, and business environment. The index also showed that the Philippines has overtaken the position of its closest rival, India, with 16 to 18 percent of the global market share. “The reason why Philippines is the best location for call centers is, first, the language. Whatever everybody says, it is still the only English-speaking country in Asia, unlike in India where, you can say their films, for example are in their native language, here in the Philippines, English is everywhere,” Benjamin Davidowitz, chief executive officer of Open Access BPO, said. Davidowitz noted that the Philippines already established its credibility compared to other countries. “And now, more than five or ten years ago, you have all the major companies doing business in the Philippines – Apple, Google, Citibank, Microsoft,” he said. “We had some challenges in dealing with the government but I believe the Philippine government has also made strides in making business easier for us, for the BPO industry,” he added. Open Access BPO Open Access BPO is a multi-lingual outsourcing firm headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada. It started as a telemarketing company in 2006 and evolved into a full-suite provider of scal-
able multi-channel business solutions. Its multi-cultural workforce situated in Las Vegas, Nevada; Taipei, Taiwan; Xiamen, China; and Manila, Philippines, provides a wide range of outsourcing solutions – multilingual customer support and content moderation in more than 30 languages. “Open Access BPO is the go-to provider for complex business management work. Our clients have state-ofthe-art requirements that can only be met with stateof-the-art facility and our new facility can support these demands”, country president Henry Chang said. On July 12, the company opened its sixth international facility at the Glorietta 2 Corporate Center. The 1,000-seat facility was established to meet the growing demands of its clients and expanding workforce. Chang said the expansion proves the quality of service they provide compared to other BPO companies. “So, our basic requirement is for everyone to have language proficiency, so they (applicants) take language proficiency exam. We also look for good attitude because we can’t make them stay if they’re unable to work in a team,” he added. More employment opportunities for Filipinos in BPO When asked about a possible slowdown in the growth of BPO industry in the Philippines, Chang said the country had somehow set the mark in terms of customer service, with its large pool of English-speaking Filipinos who are culturally adaptive at the same time. “Like here, in Open Access, they also do other skill sets like content-moderation and back-office services, providing the right out-

sourcing solutions for businesses,” Chang said. “BPO industry is here to stay because there’s growth in terms of services that are international-based which we can cater, like games, travel and other interesting campaigns and not just customer support,” Ocampo said. Stressing that the BPO environment welcomes diversity and rewards good performance regardless of one’s age and background, Ocampo urged Filipinos to apply for a job in the industry. “Don’t be afraid to try but have the intention to do your best, perform well if you find it suitable for you. Also, I can say there’s career growth in line of work as I first started as a regular agent before I became a
team lead,” he added. (Ma. Teresa Montemayor PNA)

like the Sikat Saka program,” she said. The Landbank chief said the President’s directive to increase lending to the agriculture sector will not be a disadvantage to the bank’s finances “because we are the biggest lenders to the agriculture already”. “So we just need to reach out to more small farmers and their cooperatives, which is what we’ve been trying to do year after year. We just need to intensify it some more,” she added. (PNA) EXTRA-JUDICIAL SETTLEMENT OF ESTATEWITH DEED OF ABSOLUTE SALE

1st Golden Friendship Cup
Much More than just Golf By TITO MIKE
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY-Cagayan de Oro is going all-in in what promises to be its biggest locally mounted golf tournament ever with the tagline “It’s not Just Golf ”. “This is the third tournament we have organized but this is different because it’s going to be a thanksgiving for all golfers we have served through Chris Coffee Cuisine at the Pueblo de Oro Golf & Country Clubhouse for the past five years,” said Ms. Jennifer Chua (Chairman and Event Organizer) at the July 23 Media Launch of the 1st Golden Friendship Cup (GFC) scheduled on November 13-17, 2019 at the Pueblo de Oro Golf and Country Club golf course in Uptown Cagayan de Oro City. “It’s not just golf means it’s also about creating relationships and doing business with others,” Ms. Chua added. “We expect CEOs, Chairmen, Presidents of companies and senior executives to join us. We are also inviting celebrities to join the tournament.” As a four day event, the GFC features various events for its duration and perks for players including free breakfast for the first two days, socials hosted by the tournament organizers at various venues in the evenings, and a Barrio Fiesta Sugbahan sa Golf Course at the Clubhouse Garden on

Day 3. “This tournament is meant to be a showcase,” said Manuel Along, one of the tournament directors who’s also Past District Governor of Rotary International District 3870. “Aside from fostering fellowship and camaraderie in the golf course, this is meant to let other people know we can have a big tournament like this here in CDO because I understand many high profile celebrity players are coming here. If they are willing to come and be here, this is sufficient proof we can host such tournaments here in CDO.” “Actually we have already hosted several big conventions in Cagayan de Oro ear-
lier this year like the ANCOM of the Free Masons and the Eagles National Convention,” added Noel Sadava, another of the tournament directors. “ANCOM alone accommodated over 6,000 delegates who expressed their satisfaction with the hosting of the local Masons and the city government. With that experience, we can say CDO is a very safe place.” “I think that’s also an indication we are ready to host such big events,” said Chrysler Acebu, president of Pueblo de Oro Golf & Country Club. “This tournament can be a statement to reassure the entire country as well as international golfers that CDO
and Northern Mindanao for that matter, is really a safe place to visit and play golf, as well as visit our tourist destinations,” he assured. “We are a championship golf course, designed by renowned golf architect Robert Trent Jones III, and we are confident the facilities and amenities, particularly the golf course, is rated among the top 5 golf courses in the country,” Acebu added. City Information Office Maricel Rivera also expressed the Cagayan de Oro City government’s all-out support for the GFC during the same event. “While it is undoubtedly exciting for the golfers, we’d also like to see its impact on

the economy for this four-day long event. Besides our hotels and restaurants, we will also invite our guests to enjoy our tourism-related events and destinations such as our signature white water rafting along the Cagayan River, City Tours, the Kagay-an Lawndale Spring Resort, our Museum and Walking Tours, among others” Rivera said. Besides the city government and its various agencies like the Oro Trade and Investment Promotion Center, City Tourism Office, and City Tourism Council, the private sector is also expected to pitch in to make GFC a complete Kagay-anon Experience for the lucky visitors with the participation of the Cagayan de Oro Hotels & Restaurant Association (COHARA), Promote Normin, Inc., the Cagayan de Oro Chamber of Commerce and Industry Foundation, Inc. (Oro Chamber) and the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry Region 10 (PCCI10). “It’s not just golf but a combination of investment and business promotion with tourism,” said Acebu, who is also the Executive Vice President and General Manager of Pueblo de Oro Development Corporation (PDO) which hosts the GFC tournament venue. “PDO is in the real estate industry and as a developer can benefit if we are more pro-active about it by crossselling golf what’s in CDO and Normin. So we have to capitalize on the presence of these visitors mainly coming for golf, but do more than just golf. We have our hotels and restaurants, our tourism destinations, but also look at its long-term benefits to the region down the road. We need more of these types of events promoting CDO and Region 10, as well as
the whole of Mindanao,” he stressed. “In behalf of the city government, we’re very thankful to the organizers for helping bring back trust and confidence to Cagayan de Oro,” Rivera said. GFC is organized by Chris Coffee Cuisine, the City Government of Cagayan de Oro, City Tourism Office, Dept. of Tourism Region 10 office, Pueblo de Oro Golf and Country Club, Pueblo de Oro Development Corporation, Great Depot Inc., JT International and Rotary Club of Kalayaan Cagayan de Oro, in cooperation with Lions International, Japan Tobacco International, Damiani Service Apartments with the Cagayan de Oro Times, BusinessWeek Mindanao and Mindanao Daily as its official media partners.
